Explain why hexadecimal is used by computer scientists

Mathematics

Hexadecimal<span> numerals are widely </span>used<span> by computer system designers and programmers. As each </span>hexadecimal<span> digit represents four binary digits (bits), it allows a more human-friendly representation of binary-coded values. One</span>hexadecimal<span> digit represents a nibble (4 bits), which is half of an octet or byte (8 bits).

           
  
            " </span>The main reason why we use hexadecimal numbers is because it is much easier to express binary number representations in hex than it is in any other base number system." - http://digiassn.blogspot.com/2006/02/why-do-we-use-hexadecimal.html

Reuben​ says, "two days ago i was 20 years old. later next​ year, i will be 23 years​ old." how is this​ possible?
Aneli [31]
Let us always base on the present age. We denote this by x. Now, the age he had 2 years ago would then be denoted as (x-2). Let's equate this to 20 years old.

x - 2 = 20
x = 20 + 2
x = 22 years old
He should be 22 years old now.

Let's check the other condition. After 1 year, his age should be (x+1). Let's equate this to 23 years old.

x + 1 = 23
x = 23 - 1
x = 22


Thus, this is possible if Reuben is 22 years old as of the present.

The elevation at ground level is 0 feet. An elevator starts 90 feet below ground level. After traveling for 15 seconds, the elev
sweet [91]
The answer is -4 2/3

Explanation : The elevator is at 0, and went below ground level 90 feet, that would be -90, then it went up 20 feet, which would be -90 + 20 = -70

-70 ft / 15sec = - 4 2/3

I am not sure about the ground level and negative difference but that it is what I was taught. Below ground level is negative and above is positive. Therefore the elevator traveled up and it traveled -4 2/3 per second.
It so either 4 2/3 or - 4 2/3 but pretty sure it is - 4 2/3.

Answer:

d= 2√10

Step-by-step explanation:

y= 3x - 5

3x - y - 5=0

d= | 3* 7 +(-1) * (-4) + (+5) |

     ________________

       \sqrt{3^{2} } + (-1)^{2}

d = | 20 | / \sqrt{10}

d = 20 / \sqrt{10}

d = 2\sqrt{10}
